That's why I love my induction range: all the benefits of gas (near instant heat control and response, even cooking, etc.), none of the asthma or benzene!

I’m lucky we have a proper range hood that vents outside so I feel better about gas. If this is the same paper I read a year or two ago, or related to it, apparently that reduces the “pollution” in the house by like 90% or more. Going off memory though so someone correct me if I’ve got it wrong.

If the hood breaks down or the stove needs to be fully replaced, I will probably flip to induction. I had one in my old apartment and it was great

I have a regular electric cooktop and it sucks, I wish I had induction. The heat control and response is unbelievably slow. It takes too long to heat up, but MUCH longer to cool down. If you overshoot, it's bad. Also, at least for mine, the range is not proportional. Medium heat to high heat is basically no difference.
